"Uh... Sarah?" Gabriel looked between herself and Zoe curiously.
"You mind introducing me to your friend here? Maybe tell me why she's in a cave?"
English

"Of course." She said. "This is Zoe. Zoe. Gabriel." "Hello." The girl said shyly. "Anyway," she continued, "I haven't been completely honest with you. The thing is I... actually never left. Well, officially, I did. But I didn't, it's hard to explain. Regardless, Zoe is my best friend's kid. Name's Caroline. Used to work for Frontier or whatever the hell they're called now. Grew up an assassin. When she got free, she came here." Sarah paused, remembering something as if it was hard for her to finish the story. "She was still very young at the time. Helped us create our 'resistance' in the Outer District. Found this place for us. Stayed with us for a while. Until she had her kid." Another tremor. "Everything was going good for a few years. She would occasionally work with us, and helped me start [i]this[/i] treasure hunt. Hm. She was my best friend, and my partner in a way. The only other person besides my brother that was there for me. Always. She... vanished a few years ago." [spoiler]Most of my stuff is interconnected. I like it better that way.[/spoiler]

"Huh... You know, I thought I heard about a Caroline in the dojo. Might not be your Caroline though..." Gabriel looked off, thinking about the dojo. "Anyways. Hello Zoe. It's nice to meet you." Gabriel extended a hand to the young girl, smiling widely.
-
Zoe, while initially reluctant, eventually shook it after receiving the okay from Sarah. Her hand hand a strange... tingle to it. In fact, the girl completely had that air around her. Like she was emitting trace levels of energy. Literally. "You said there was a Caroline?" Sarah asked, curious at that fact. "White hair, pale skin, blue eyes?"
-
"I don't know, I never saw her myself. Mostly just the story of a woman. Faced off or worked with some guy named Drake I think." Gabriel shrugged at that, standing back up. "It's the dojo. Not everything heard is a true statement. As I have learned."
-
Another shake, this time more intense. Like it was closer... "We need to get those defenses on. N-" She was cut off when the power shut off, and alarms suddenly started to go off. "WARNING:" An automated voice said, as blast shields covered the windows. "Fusion Regulator OFFLINE. WARNING: Fusion Regulator OFFLINE."
-
"That sounds really... Really bad...." Gabriel looked around, before looking back at Sarah. "Can we get them back online if this engine is not working?" Gabriel asked simply.
-
"WARNING:" The automated voice started to say, before Sarah had a chance. "Reactor Core Destabilized. Threat level: Immediate. Time until Supercritical Status: 10 minutes. Broadcasting emergency evacuation signal." "You've got to be -blam!-ing kidding me." Sarah said, frantically looking around for a way to shut it down. The entire facility began to shake periodically, and an emergency message began to blast over the intercom. "Attention all facility personnel: Reactor Reaching Supercritical Levels. Please evacuate the facility immediately and retreat to a recommended minimum safe distance off [i]90[/i] kilometers." [spoiler]The island is remote, so it won't effect Dojo. But it will level the city, kill everyone in the area, cause possible disturbances in space time (more on that later), and put large amounts of deadly radiation into the atmosphere. There will be a way to fix it... eventually, but for now you just need to GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Oh wow, that's fun. [/spoiler] "Guess that answers that question. What's the quickest way out? We gotta go." Gabriel rushed around the room, looking for a potential exit strategy.
-
"Hmm." Sarah said, close to Zoe. "There's an old hanger down the main hallway. Has a small supply ship still parked inside from awhile back. Hasn't been used in a long time, but if I can jumpstart it..." She moved over to the door that led into the main hallway, undoing and unlocking the systems that kept it shut. "I know it's not much, but it's worth a shot."
-
"Yeah, I agree. Let's get down there if we can and see whether or not this ship of yours actually works." Gabriel started down the hall.
-
She followed, ripping out a rifle from an auxiliary compartment in the wall. Sarah was prepared to kill anyone that stood in their way. Gunshots. Detonations. It could be heard on the other side of the heavy blast door that separated the core systems from the rest of the facility. It opened slightly, and a man climbed through. It shut, locking. "Sarah?" He said, stumbling toward them. It was only then that they realized it was Johnathan. "Oh thank god." She said, giving him a quick hug. "We need to get out of here, and fast. The reactors going to detonate and the city..." "-blam!-. Okay. How long?" "Six minutes?" "That's not a lot of time." "I know. But if we can access that old ship we got, we should be able to get out of here. I know it's not the best, but it's something." The got to moving, the facility slowly falling apart. "WARNING: Reactor Unstable. Time until meltdown: Four minutes." And then the started to run. [spoiler]I know it's kind of dragging, but it's getting there.[/spoiler]

"Son of a bitch...." Gabriel sprinted down the hallway alongside the others, pulling out the assault rifle he had picked up from the train yard. [url=https://imgur.com/NQlwCD0]The weapon, [/url]was more futuristic looking than it previously had been. Most likely as a result of technical additions from the organization Gabriel was working for... Whatever it was.
